So these are called moon cactus, it is a ‘fake’ plant, as in there are two different parts that are grown onto each other. The top part can’t survive without the bottom part. The bottom part is very commonly a ‘dragon fruit’ stem. They will usually continue to grow even if the top part dies. And so you’ve apparently be taking good care of it, and it grew an arm. I would also consider letting your plant get more light as it is stretching for light.
